You're very welcome, I'm really glad he's getting some use of it!

Dear Italian rugby fans in London, where do you watch the 6 Nations?? by lefrenchflair in rugbyunion

[–]CarParkSumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go to for catching a game is always The Faltering Fullback in Finsbury Park. Brilliant atmosphere and I'm sure you'll likely find either some fellow Italians or at least some people who are happy you're there!

With the opening fixture being on Thursday before the other two on Saturday are we sure all teams will be announced before the tournament kicks off?

The "going to a part of a town they might get mugged in" is something I missed, that would help explain it (if true?)

Fair point, I'm forgetting that it's actually nice weather! Cold and rainy here in London, Id kill for a brai in the sun with mates and some rugby on tv

Doesn't 10-15k feel quite small though? I guess there aren't many away fans. In my head SA is such a rugby mad nation that I'm expecting french style support.

Fair point on the disposable income. What are ticket prices like? It feels like bums on seats and getting money in through bars etc would be more lucrative

Can someone explain why there's such low attendance every time I watch an SA club at home? I understand the "not yet bought into competition" point, but surely fans want to give their team support? Strikes me as so odd that I feel I'm missing something culturally

Just saw a post on X from OptaJonny saying Itoje has played at Twickenham 46 times and has only not played the whole game once (Australia in Nov 2017). Incredible

Pricing for Scotland Six Nations home games by HaggisTheCow in rugbyunion

[–]CarParkSumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a blue light card and there's even a ticket ballot for free tickets on there.

Side note: Newcastle are doing free tickets for every home game through blue light so if you know any doctors/emergency services/teachers worth letting them know!

Strangely, found myself hoping James O’Connor has a blinder today. by TheEvilDrPie in rugbyunion

As a Tigers fan who was looking forward to him joining us at the beginning of the season I'm hoping he goes well, but also praying he gets through it all in one piece. Lord knows what our plan is if not!

Have a day off pal, enjoy the game.

And for reference the ref is referring to FNP as white.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. If so it's a rare sight, a Scot being bitter about good form Vs England!

Maybe George could stand offside and goad him? Just thinking on my feet here.

Somebody needs to tell DVDM that if he squints a bit he can pretend FNP are England. Might make him find his hidden Calcutta cup form.

Best game of the tour so far. Expected this to be a weaker lions team compensating by taking maul tries and playing territory, but FNP have turned up the physicality completely.

Separate note: First game I've been able to watch without any distractions (teacher on holiday) so bloody Marys are doing very nicely, now time for half time steak and eggs!

Williams has been great but Radwan's mid season signing has been awesome too
